Information about Court of Common Council

The
Court of Common Council is the City of London's primary
decision-making body, and meets nine times per year. It works
through committees, like many other local authorities, but it is
unique in that it is non-party political. Its main business focuses
on the reports of committees, motions and Members'
questions.

There are 100
Common Councilmen and 25
Aldermen representing the 25 Wards of the City of London. Each Ward
elects between 2 and 10 Common Councilmen, depending on the size of
the electorate. The Common Councilmen are elected every 4 years and
the next elections will be held in March 2017.
